Mindful of overcrowded conditions within the physical facilities of the Department of Corrections through its study of Corrections and study of Local Jails, which indicated considerable overcrowding with inmates being held for transfer into the corrections system, the Crime Commission named a Capital Outlay subcommittee that functioned in complete cooperation with the State Board of Corrections and knowledge of the administration to determine the immediate capital outlay needs in corrections so that the Governor and the members of the General Assembly, as well as the general public, would be aware of these needs prior to the start of the 1975 General Assembly.

This report is also included with other information as part of the Annual Report of the State Crime Commission.

Respectfully submitted,

Stanley C. Walker,
Chairman
